Show HN: Isometric Painting Tool (jomo.tv)

This was a little weekend project.

In case it isn't obvious, you can move around in the x, y, z axes. Controls are explained in the bottom left.

I was actually looking into isometric rendering on canvas for a different project and then thought I'd make a little demo with it. The idea of creating a painting tool only came by accident through a bug that didn't clear the canvas and I thought it would be useful.

I thought isometric graphics are quite amusing when it comes to impossible objects. [0]

Maybe this is also useful for someone making a game based on an isometric map.

FYI: I've set up a GitHub wiki page in case someone wants to share their creations (just copy the link). [1]

You should fix the URLs that it generates when you perform an action. It completely spammed my history. [0]

Somebody had to do it, I guess http://imgur.com/Ej4Yc1K

If it's possible, the cursor should change colour when it's toggled between move/paint mode.

Easy to work with, that was fun!

I was really hoping I could draw Escher staircases!

Scrolling my mouse wheel up once increases scale to 101 and then going back one takes the scale to "1" but the object is super tiny (does not seem to be really "1")
